A MEMORY OF SMELLS, ARE THEY STILL THE SAME?

The smell of a newborn baby after a bath, all sprinkled with powder. I don't think that smell will ever change. A smell I will always remember... My grandma Bertha would always smell like lavender. I use to buy lavender soap, and hand cream because it made me think of her. A smell I will always remember... My great uncle would make taffy, and one time I helped stretch it. A smell I will always remember... My mom would take me to dance class, and the building smelled like Carmel. Much later in life, I entered a building that had the same smell, and it brought back those old days. A smell I will always remember... When a storm was brewing in Lake Erie there was a smell of raging waters. A north eastern was coming - I could smell it. A smell I will always remember... The soothing sound of the motor boat passing by leaving the smell of gasoline - why did that comfort me? A smell I will always remember... Walking down the beach, bear foot in the sand, and running across a dried up dead fish. A smell I will always remember... My husband would always use Comet with bleach to clean out the sink, tub and he would sprinkle it add a bit of water making it a paste, and let it set for an hour. A smell I will always remember... Smell can bring back a memory, at least for me...some good, some bad, but these are a few of my favorite memories of smell...and when I smell them now, it sparks my memory. by ~ judy
